BREYKING NOOZ: Crypto 2024 so far in 30 seconds...but change is in the air. IT'S TIME. 😎🔥

Solana’s iconic memecoin scene is restructuring. Frustrated by the rampant oversaturation of token launches and a litany of extractive practices, memecoin traders are reevaluating their approach..

Liquidity has evaporated from the memecoin economy, causing dramatic price fluctuations across the board. Abandoning smaller caps, the remaining traders have solidified positions in established coins.

The collapse of smaller memecoins has led market participants to explore alternative trading strategies and take advantage of emerging DeFi applications.

Memecoin Leverage Trading Apps Gain Popularity
Losing patience with the frequent scams, rugpulls, and pump-and-dumps popular on platform’s like pump.fun, Solana meme coin traders are eager for a new meta. The oversaturation of new launches has worn the patience of even the most committed degens, drawing attention back to established memecoins.

Despite their relatively short lifespan, Solana’s veteran memecoins have birthed devout and resilient communities. While these established memecoins remain volatile, their relative stability compared to new launches has seen coins like $POPCAT , $GIGA , and $MUMU enjoy renewed interest and capital rotates away from new launches.

However, these popular coins have arguably already completed the bulk of their run. To maximize potential profits through these coins, traders are turning to applications like Lavarage to add additional weight to their positions.

Adding a layer of dynamism to the memecoin economy, Lavarage supports margin trading positions on over 400 Solana memecoins.

With Lavarage, traders can increase the size of their positions, amplifying their profit and loss. This approach breathes new life into established memecoins and gives traders a new tool in this compelling market.

Ironically, implementing leverage trading into memecion markets might actually make them safer. Traders could be compelled to speculate on established coins, rather than gamble on new pump.fun launches and hope that the coin they’ve chosen is one of the 1.38% that graduate to Raydium.

Lavarage Partners with Backpack - Boosting Rewards
After launching in mid-August, Lavarage’s Tephra Rewards campaign has kicked into gear following its collaboration with Backpack wallet.

Lavarage users who access the application and execute trades via the Backpack will benefit from a 10% points boost. Tephra points are expected to play a key role in determining airdrop allocations ahead of Lavarage’s anticipated TGE (Token Generation Event).

An Unexpected Airdrop?
In a bid to further reward users, Lavarage has partnered with the $NAMI memecoin to distribute $1 ,500 of $NAMI to traders. Over the course of the campaign, 5,325,000 $NAMI will be proportionally airdropped to users as follows:

$1000 worth of $NAMI to users who trade $NAMI with leverage

$500 worth of $NAMI to users who trade any other token with leverage

Currently, Leverage only allows traders to open long positions on its extensive list of tradable assets.

However, moderators in the Lavarage Discord server have indicated that “we have a good idea of how shorting can be implemented”, before conceding that the team “do not have any immediate plan to roll that out

SOLANA BREAKPOINT: The Biggest Announcements From Day One
Hopes were high for some big announcements, but even the most devout Solana maxi wasn’t ready for this.

Over 5,700 Solana fans, users, and bulls descended on day one of Singapore Breakpoint. The biggest conference event in Solana history, Breakpoint delivered a wrath of key updates, with crucial developments announced from both native teams and institutional players.

If you weren’t at Breakpoint, here’s what you need to know:

FIREDANCER LIVE ON TESTNET
Solana users and investors alike were delighted to see Kevin Bowers, Jump Crypto’s Chief Science Officer take the stage to deliver one of the network’s most eagerly awaited updates.

Firedancer, the novel validator client promising to bring unparalleled levels of scalability, decentralization, and security to Solana, is now live on testnet.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Bowers also took the opportunity to outline the development history of the client and its evolution from Frankendancer, an experimental synergy of existing software with Jump’s new codebase, to the optimized final Firedancer product.

To rounds of raucous applause from the Solana faithful, Bowers announced that the existing Frankendancer client is now live on the Solana mainnet.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON BUILDING ON SOLANA
While existing SOL ETF applications find themselves unlikely to be approved in the short term, that doesn’t mean that TradFi giants aren’t eager to launch Solana-based products to their institutional clients.

Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s largest financial players boasting over $1 .3T in AUM (Assets Under Management) announced its intention to launch a mutual fund on the Solana blockchain.

CITIBANK EXPLORING SOLANA
Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, and VanEck aren’t the only Wall Street players with an eye on crypto’s most performant Layer-1.

Citibank, the fourth largest bank in the United States, shared that it was exploring Solana’s potential, suggesting that seamless money transfers and advanced smart contract composability present unique opportunities in the future.

JUPITER MAKES BIG MOVES
Traditional Finance may have dominated the headlines, but Solana-native DeFi teams also commanded their fair share of the spotlight.

Jupiter co-founder Siong presented an immense range of updates coming to Jupiter’s expansive ecosystem. Crucial announcements included a refreshed v2 perps platform, the reveal of the Ape Pro memecoin trading platform, further details surrounding the Jupiter mobile wallet, and Jupiter’s acquisition of the SolanaFM explorer.

SKY, FORMERLY MakerDAO, DEPLOYS ON SOLANA
MakerDAO, one of the crypto industry’s longest standing DeFi protocols, recently rebranded to SKY, migrating its iconic decentralized stablecoin from $DAI to $USDS . Building on top of the momentum achieved with the rebrand, SKY announced a proposal to leverage Wormhole’s cross-chain infrastructure to bridge $USDS to Solana.

Reinforcing SKY’s desire to be present on the Solana network, the protocol announced an rewards campaign to incentivise deeper liquidity on the network. According to SKY governance, the maximum distribution of weekly rewards is capped at 2M $SKY .

The move helps to bring greater stability to Solana DeFi by providing a more diversified range of stablecoin assets onchain.

Continuing the trend of Solana migration, the Huma Finance PayFi network also announced its intention to launch on the network.

Initially, the Russian government will test the cryptocurrency payment mechanism under an experimental legal regime (ELR). This means only selected participants, such as credit institutions and banks, will be involved in the process. The goal is to minimize risks and develop regulations to protect the market from fraud. Aksakov noted that companies are already using cryptocurrencies for import and export payments, with transaction volumes expected to reach billions of dollars. He emphasized the need to limit the number of financial institutions participating in the initial phase to better understand the market and develop effective regulatory measures.

🚨 The $1 .5 million CryptoPunks 2386 just sold for just $23 ,000 in a stroke of genius.

To put this into context, you should know that this CryptoPunk was split into 10,000 ERC20 tokens on 09/26/2020, and distributed among 257 holders, via a platform now out of service called Niftex.

Indeed, this NFT being very rare, it had been split in order to become more affordable and to allow everyone to own a part of a Punks.

But with the platform closed, it became difficult to sell or buy a fragment of this Punk.

However, the smart contract linked to the NFT remained valid on the blockchain, and an individual activated a buyback feature to ultimately take possession of the NFT for a fraction of its current value.

"Any shareholder can propose a buyout price, and if no one counters, he can buy the asset after 14 days."

So the offer was 0.001 ETH per share, or 10 ETH for the 10,000 shares. And the countdown that almost no one could see began.

After the 14 days, the individual got his hands on the NFT for a pittance.

Developer 0xQuit calls the operation the "theft of the century."

After the euphoric highs of Q2, fear and doubt have crept back into crypto markets in recent months.

Amidst the uncertainty Solana’s DeFi ecosystem has shed layers of TVL (Total Value Locked), with the majority of protocol’s losing between 13-18% in USD value on a monthly time frame.

However, despite the market-wide pullback, outperformers have emerged. Which protocols created a liquidity vacuum and expanded their TVL despite ailing markets?

NX FINANCE, LULO LEAD MONTHLY TVL GROWTH
Solana’s DeFi scene has enjoyed newfound momentum and attention throughout 2024. However, the last 30 days indicate a charge in sentiment, with the bulk of Solana protocols suffering significant drops in their TVL.

Despite challenging conditions, several outliers have outperformed the wider market and witnessed continued growth in the face of adversity.

Lending aggregator NX Finance led the charge, enjoying consistent growth in the face of difficult markets. Courtesy of its incentivized rewards program, NX Finance TVL rose 65% in the last 30 days, leading Solana’s top 50 DeFi applications by TVL.

Meanwhile, fellow lending aggregator Lulo Finance continued to rise through the ranks, securing over $30M in Directed Liquidity (DL). With over 92% of its DL, a similar metric similar to TVL, held in stablecoins, Lulo-managed value has increased by 32.27% in the last 30 days.

At first glance, DeFiLlama data suggests that Jupiter’s TVL has risen by 47.22% in the last 30 days. However, this increase is due to the popular analytics platform integrating $jupSOL into Jupiter’s total TVL on August 16, adding approximately $300M worth of funds to the platform.

According to Step Finance data, $jupSOL supply has risen 0.36% in the last 30 days. Coupled with the 2.22% decline in Jupiter perpetual TVL in the same time period, it can be concluded that Jupiter’s total TVL has remained relatively stable in the face of challenging market conditions.

Kamino TVL Climbs Despite Falling Prices
Kamino Finance has been one of Solana DeFi’s most solid performers throughout Q3’s volatility. While lending aggregators like NX Finance and Lulo predominantly hold stablecoins, making them more resilient to market downturn, Kamino accepts deposits from a wider range of more volatile assets.

Despite falling asset prices across the industry, Kamino has emerged as one of Solana’s standout DeFi protocols.

While $SOL price has dropped over 36% since its March 18 high of $202 , Kamino TVL has increased by 12% in USD terms. Denominated in SOL, Kamino TVL has risen by 76% in the same time frame.

JUPITER DOMINATES PERPETUAL TVL ACROSS THE INDUSTRY
Jupiter’s perpetual DEX platform shows no sign of relinquishing its iron grip on derivatives dominance. One of Solana’s largest DeFi protocols, Jupiter’s perpetual DEX is currently the largest onchain derivatives market in the crypto industry.

Boasting over $657M in TVL, Jupiter dominates perpetual market share. According to DeFiLlama data, the Solana-based platform currently accounts for 18.82% of onchain derivatives TVL across the industry.

While Jupiter boasts the highest TVL across all perpetual DEXes, its closest rival still witnesses higher trading volumes. During August, Hyperliquid handled $34 .6B in trading volume compared to Jupiter’s $15 .1B. It’s worth noting that Hyperliquid’s high volume could attributed to its points program, which is expected to influence token allocations ahead of the protocol’s upcoming airdrop
